VALHALLA
DREAMING.
~~~
When
Bifrost’s flung across the void
And
battles roar below
Saga’d
men in leather strive
In
trading hack for blow.
When
teeth are bared in effort
As
the battleaxes clash,
When
blood shall run in rivulets
As
storms of Vikings lash-
Ride, sisters ride! Over Bifrost thunder!
Sweep
the fallen to your steeds
And
never mind the plunder!
Ride,
sisters, ride! Battle cries a’screaming
Oh,
Valkyries bring the heroes home
To
join Valhalla dreaming!
When
storms of Viking lash the coast
With
rivulets of blood,
As
battleaxes cleave and bite
Above
the brazen flood,
When
riven shields are marred with bone
And
saga’d heroes fall,
When
battles savage raise a score
Elect
for Odin’s hall-
Ride,
sisters ride! Battle helms a’sparkle!
Raise
the slain to victory
Amidst the foes' debacle!
Ride,
sisters, ride! Battle shields a’gleaming
Oh,
Valkyries bear the heroes home
To
their Valhalla dreaming!
When
Vikings fall in latter days
All
fading grey and cold,
As
hearing keen deserts their ears
And
dims their spirits bold,
When
death becomes a beckoned friend
So
welcome to the door,
When
men of might descry the cold
And
know they’ll fight no more-
Ride,
sisters ride! Flaxen hair unpleach,
Hold
the dying to your breast
The bridge of air’s in reach;
Ride,
sisters, ride! Your eyes a'mercies beaming-
Oh,
Valkyries bring the heroes home
To
bright Valhalla dreaming!
Valkyries
bring the heroes home
To
their Valhalla dreaming.
